Saturday’s main card starts at 9 p.m. ET on Netflix with Mauro Ranallo on play-by-play, Kenny Florian on color, and Elle Duncan leading the analyst desk for Rousey vs. Carano.
Jon Jones and Cain Velasquez will rotate in as guest analysts alongside Cat Zingano, while Tyron Woodley and Ariel Helwani join Duncan on the core desk team.
The undercard begins at 6 p.m. ET on MVP’s YouTube channel, with Sibley Scoles as roving reporter, Sean Wheelock handling rules and scoring, and Kody Mommaerts serving as ring announcer.
Fight-week coverage also runs on YouTube at 9 p.m. ET: open workouts on Wednesday, then Thursday’s press conference hosted by Helwani and ceremonial weigh-ins featuring Scoles, Woodley, Florian and Velasquez.
The event takes place Saturday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, with Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano headlining a featherweight main event.
